Very little el? lthe steameau escape through the notches l5 and le., as these notches arevirtually7 closed. ln advantao-e in having the hair passage at the eideoit the tube iss that the tube is thus pei1m niitted to hang straightdown on the strand oli hair and will thus avoid exerting; that un duestrain on the haii' which results when the hair enters the top end ofthe tube. To avoid umlue steam pressure Within the tube, ll provide theeseapeopening ll at the bottoln thereof.

het l claim ae new is: l. it device oit the clase eet forthconeistseeured to the tube by a bayonet-Slot device requiring the cap tobe rotated to lock it on the tube, the fiange of the cap and the rim ofthe tube being provided with registering notches, the notches in thetube-rim being sufficiently wider than the notch in the cap-flange topermit the cap to be rotated to locking position without severing thehair strand.

2. A guard for the purpose set forth, consisting of a pair of plateshaving straight edges notched to correspond midway their length to forma, hole for the hair strand, one of these plates being single-ply andthe other being double-ply. the plies being:

Aseparate@ one end of the single-ply plete being pivotally mountedbetween the plies oit' the doubiephv plate and the other end of thissingle-ply plate being provided with a clamp-screw notch, saiddouble-ply plate being provided with a. clamp-screw connecting' the twoplies to adapt said two plies to form zt clamp for clainpinnr thesingle-pb7 plate between them in closed position.
